@SSteyer41 Yes, nem3 needs to be replaced. The justice issues can be integrated into community solar projects at the municipal level where commercial real estate projects overbuild and subsidize low income population in their vicinity. Also, distribution costs need be tiered wrt fire risk

@JesseJenkins @clawrence @AndreasenJack Keith’s work is a bad example. He explicitly stated that he used well established industrial unit ops when designing his approach. Re. original question, PCR and WGS were developed in academic settings and went onto commercial use. This material’s half-life is key attribute.

@climatefuturist @mlynmarrbooks My only advice is to go a distance that you enjoy and only go further when you want to. In my experience, the endorphin rush only comes when you run because you miss it. 2/2

@drvolts @sdamico You win with value proposition. At $6k, your market is tiny. For instance, pg&e charges me extra for gas because i use so little of it (gas stove is my only use). Even still, there is no payback period at a ~$5k delta when i need to replace my gas stove.

@Hamatsa50 It’s an interesting selection. I don’t follow Nobel Prizes closely, but it seems that they paired two different accomplishments (computational protein design and protein structure prediction) under one prize. Is that done routinely?

@Hamatsa50 My guess is that he didn’t even make it up; rather he’s parroting some CN BS…

@SSteyer41 How do you differentiate this from a cynical ploy to hedge against being on the wrong side of a Harris victory motivated by the signs that she will win?

@Hamatsa50 lol, that’s a Stanford CEE product! I mean it’s good that she’s “proud” and all, but seriously coliphage/E. coli tracking literature is deep and adding them directly to SF Bay water is a flawed experimental design…

@jlsteenwyk To be clear, I was only asking about measles. My guess is that there was a gradual increase prior to 2020 based on early anti-vax sentiment (), but then a more pronounced increase after Covid anti-vax exacerbated the issue…

@jlsteenwyk Yeah, I am curious to see if there’s a sharp increase around 2020 or if it’s a gradual increase that started earlier.

@Hamatsa50 Sigh, completely preventable. People really don’t understand life pre-vaccination… Horrible disease as an adult btw. I had it at when I was 16 yo. Fully vaccinated but for whatever reason it didn’t hold. Hyperventilating suffocation was weird; thankfully my mom knew what to do…
